Ingredients
- Eggs 6 pcs
- Vegetable oil 1 tbsp
- Onion 1 pcs
- Garlic 4 clove
- Pickled ginger 15 g
- Curry 4 tbsp
- Cumin (Zira) 1 tsp
- Ground black pepper 0.5 tsp
- Tomatoes in their own juice 400 g
- Coconut milk 400 ml
- Chicken broth 0.6 cup
- Soy sauce 1 tbsp
- Salt 0.5 tsp
Directions
Step 1

Peel the vegetables, remove the skin from the ginger root. Prepare a container with ice water for cooling the eggs. You'll need a deep saucepan with thick walls for cooking.
Step 2

Dice the onion finely, mince the garlic. Grate the ginger on a fine grater or chop finely. If the canned tomatoes are whole, mash them with a fork in a separate container.
Step 3

Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 9 minutes. Transfer the eggs to cold water. Peel the eggs.
Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan. Sauté the onion in it for 6 minutes until golden.
Step 5

Add the ginger and garlic to the onion, stir and fry for 1 minute. Add the curry, pepper, and cumin, and heat everything together for another 1 minute.
TipYou can crush the cumin in a mortar or with the handle of a knife. You can also use ground spice right away.
Step 6

Add the tomatoes with their juice and the coconut milk to the saucepan, stir and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook for 10 minutes without a lid.
TipOnce the curry has thickened, taste the sauce and add more salt if necessary.
Step 8

Add the eggs to the curry and heat for 1 minute.
Step 9

Serve the curry with boiled fluffy rice, wheat tortillas, a lemon wedge, and natural yogurt. For bright accents, the dish can be sprinkled with chopped cilantro.
